Winchfield Hurst: your questions answered
Do you cover Winchfield Hurst?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Winchfield Hurst?
Yes, Winchfield Hurst is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There is no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
How long have you been surveying roofs?

Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Winchfield Hurst
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’ve noticed ridge tiles that have come loose and damaged flat roof membrane, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Winchfield Hurst, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Why get it checked now?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. In a place like Winchfield Hurst, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Common roof problems in Winchfield Hurst
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Look out for signs like these:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Homes near green spaces such as Calthorpe Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the price includes VAT
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- The outcome of a claim
- Estimates of repair costs
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we look at
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
Storm damage roof reports around Winchfield Hurst
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Hart Shopping Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. If you own a rental within reach of Winchfield station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

The survey, step by step

The survey typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older rural homes like those around Winchfield Hurst can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
How to book
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
